turned to their camp. The cavalry were
drawn up in full field order on the eminence
frontipo ha Tn1iay, ,xos;t;oc Tho I,.J;ou,
soon began riding about and singing war
songs
Campbell returned shortly saying that a
council was being held. The troops were
held in readiness, and the Indians were pa
tiently watched by the command until the
time was up. The Indians in the meantime
had formed into a long line, and Sword
bearer could be seen riding up and down
haranguing them. A few scattering shot
We're then fired into the air.
The time being up, Gen. Ruger sent troops
T. and X down the valley on the left flank of
the In dams, where they were met by about
half of the Indians gathered in the war
party, which numbered about $50. A red
hot skrinish then resulted, in which Corporal
Charles Thompson was killed, Private Eugene
Malleoy slightly wounded and Private Clarl
thrown from bis horse and his shoulder dis
located. These were all in troop X, COM
manded by Lieut.. Edwards and Second
Lieut.. Byram. A running fight ensued, the
Indians retreating, some to the peaceful
gathering near the agency, and others
crossing tho river and taking to
the hills. Sword Bearer made final
stand at the crossing of the Little Horn, about
one mile below the agency, in which he and
probably three of his followers were killed.
This was the result of the skirmish fire of g
troop First cavalry, commanded by Capt.
f. Kuppham and Lieut.. j. B. Aleshire
Sword Bearers body was brought into camp,
but the other Indians are only reported dead
Most of the Indians circled about ard re-
turned to the agency, mixing with the other
camps. There are now supposed to be from
twenty to fifty loose in the hills Several
troops of cavalry are now out close on their
heels, and they will probably soon be cap
tured. There was about two hours actual
fighting
